I believe God has tasked us to be good stewards of our spaces in the world, and I guide my children to do the same.

“Well what’d you do wrong??” “I don’t know, that’s why I’m calling you!” I replied, exasperated and frustrated. I could almost hear the smirk on his face as he questioned me. I had attempted to make my Daddy’s brownies. The ones everyone ohh’ed and ahh’ed about at every family gathering. The ones he had trialed...
I first heard about the Oura Ring on a podcast from Dr. Chris Kresser. As a newer sleep and activity tracking device just overflowing with oodles of data, I was immediately intrigued. In my opinion, the Oura Ring exceptionally outshines any other sleep tracker that I know of, though it’s lacking some of the daytime...
